How do i compile img2iso

[Awareness]

how do i compile this?

i downloaded it but it doesn't seem to have any instructions :S

http://www.t2-project.org/packages/img2iso.html

[logos34]

extract isodump-0.06.00.tar.gz

then cd into folder isodump-0.06.00 and look for INSTALL text doc.

here:

First run a
./configure
then a
make
for compilation of or/and a
make install
for compilation and installation (the last requires beeing root) of the binary
and the manual page. Edit the Makefile entries (for instance INSTALLDIR_???)
if neccessary.

you can also substitute 'sudo checkinstall' for the last step (makes a .deb out of it)

1. Download
2. Extract
3. cd isodump-0.06.00
4. ./configure
5. [meet any missing dependencies and ./configure, rinse, repeat]
6. make
7. ./isodump -h

on second thought, maybe an easier way would be to use ccd2iso

$ sudo apt-get install ccd2iso
$ ccd2iso file.img file.iso

done.

Why in the world would somebody want to convert a *.img Image into an *.iso Image? Most of the Netbook's don't have a CD Drive and therefore the best option it is to create a bootable USB Stick Version and the best way to do that is by using an *.img Image. Thats why it naturally comes as such.

Best way to make an USB Stick Image from a *.img file is:

download "linux-image-writer" from
http://www.jolicloud.com/downloads/l...mage-writer.py

Open a Terminal and go to the directory where you downloaded the file:
cd /the/path/to/your/directory

Change the script permissions:
chmod a+x linux-image-writer.py

Run the Program to write ur *.img Image to USB
sudo ./linux-image-writer.py *.img

I'd also recommend to format the USB Stick before turning it into a boot device.

I dont remember why did i want to do this, but i think it was coz unetbooting only accepted .iso :S

Anyway, i dont like to use random scripts from random webs :S (thanks for the help anyway)

if its that much the natural way to burn it into usb, could you suggest something that we can find in the repositories?
